Graham... I'm running 2 Talos & 2 Cyclops. IMO the benefits are cumulative especially where there is more than 1 unit on the same circuit. It makes sense, electricity oscillates & it is akin to the units running in parallel. I guess similar to a Triton+Typhon combination.

I plan to put in another 2 Cyclops & then I'm done.

I think Shunyata do great power but I am in a different camp when it comes to wire.

Steve, when you mentioned that you were running with two Cyclops as well as the Talos it planted the unfortunate seed of expansion into my head but am very glad for the thought now as an option it ideally fits my minimalist 4 outlet world

Put differently, across the Zitron products, my ears hear the most unique positive differences from the signal cables versus what I heard from prior wires.

I do have one small extra-mythological prediction that you may not want to know about: you will want a Typhon.
Get thee behind me, Satan. LOL

I'm sure I used to go out with a Typhon... Tim is there maybe a review looming?

My first post! I joined this forum because of the Shunyata Forum. For a few years I have had a V-Ray and a few Shunyata power cords.

I have recently added a Cobra Zitron power cord on my CD player and am hearing the difference.

Next week will see the arrival of a Python Zitron power cord for the preamp and Python Zitron interconnects for the preamp to the amps. After those are broken in I will add Python Zitron power cords to the amps.

Will post my system list as soon as I am given access to that page.

Another big +1 Welcome Haydn... Always room for more darned snakes on the plane.

Looking forward to your thoughts on the pythons and more.

Best wishes
Graham
